[Protux-devel] new question to FAQ

[Luciano Giordana]

Ok guys, I am sick of explain protux goals for those who didnt "get it". So I 
suggest to put this new quesiton into the FAQ. Take a look and make 
improvements if you want.

Thanks


Q: "I can't understand.. why dont you put standard menus / icons / combo 
boxes? This way, Protux would be much more intuitive and make Audio 
Professionals work much easier."

A: We believe this is an ilusion. Menus/icons/clicks do not make the job 
easier. They make it harder.
They are considered "intuitive" based on a de-facto Windoze usage culture. 
When you go to play a video game, you rarely use menus/icons/comboboxes. You 
learn (normally prety fast) a combination of keys to perform actions in the 
game, EXACTLY because games require that fast-usage approach. Protux believes 
that it will be the most practical and most efficient tool for audio 
professional, exactly because the user will feel like it was operating a 
"videogame". It is just a matter of opening your mind.
